Sweet Yeast Dough Method-
Reconstitute the dried Yeast in the warm water.
Mix flour, salt and sugar in a bowl, rub in
butter. Add the Yeast liquid and beaten eggs to
the flour, knead well. Leave to rise in a warm
place for 45-60 minutes. Turn Dough on to
lightly floured surface and knead again
lightly. Roll out pastry into two rectangle
sheets. Place in the middle, the almond
Filling, and brush with milk all around the
edges, to stick together. Close the edges and
roll them into two long sausages. Brush the
ends with milk and put one over each other to
stick together. Now take the two almond rolls
and cross them one over each other, when you
finished it all, turn it into a circle. Brush
with milk and decorate with cherries. I have
left over pastry and I have made one small too,
and the other one is filled with mushed pitted
dates with some marmalade jam sugar free and
1/3 teaspoon orange blossom water.
